Alan Palmer, Sailing

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After a week in which
he was recognized by US Sailing as the Sailor of the Week, Alan
Palmer helped the Crimson capture the Captain Hurst Bowl, earning
him COOP Athlete of the Week honors.

Skippering all 14 races in the A division, Palmer’s led
the Crimson to seven top-three finishes, totaling 80 points, tops
in the division. Harvard won the 20-team intersectional regatta
thanks to the consistent sailing and low scoring registered by
Palmer and his boat mates, Ryan Byrne and Quincy Bock.

The victory at the Captain Hurst Bowl is the third this fall
in which Palmer has been sailing for Harvard.
